This is particularly true when it comes to making decisions about your storage requirements where reliability is king.Sandy SunTue, 22 Mar 2016 12:19:08 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/596458/reliability-understanding-critical-factors-behind-disk-storage/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedVerizon, IBM team on cloud-based storagehttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/341626/verizon_ibm_team_cloud-based_storage/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedVerizon Business and IBM are now offering a joint service aimed at helping large businesses safely store large chunks of data within the Verizon cloud.Brad ReedWed, 31 Mar 2010 22:37:00 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/341626/verizon_ibm_team_cloud-based_storage/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedWhen the backup drive gets fullhttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/327034/when_backup_drive_gets_full/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedRat74136's external hard drive is full.

The bottom line is simple: lose data, lose dollars. When you talk about some type of disaster, such as fire or theft of your computer hardware, the survival rate for stricken companies without disaster recovery tools and good backups drops into the “hope and prayer” realm of IT management. So lets talk about ways to insulate your company from disaster by playing like the Boy Scouts and being prepared.James E.
